Playwright Mary Chase won a Pulitzer Prize for Harvey, her stalwart comedy about a good-natured middle-aged man named Elwood P. Dowd, his domineering and society-loving sister Veta, and Elwood's best friend -- a giant invisible rabbit named Harvey. To save her family from embarrassment, Veta tries to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium, but plans go awry and Veta gets hospitalized instead, setting off a hilarious chain of events. A long-running Broadway hit, Harvey was adapted into an Oscar-winning 1950 movie starring James Stewart -- and now you can see it on stage at the Sunnyvale Theatre.
